Windows Mobile Widgets

We’ve been seeing Widgets on the leaks of Windows Mobile 6.5 for such a long time, so it’s really no surprise to see that Microsoft has gone official with its Widgets, and will be calling it Windows Mobile Widgets. These Widgets will be powered (partly) by the new Mobile Internet Explorer 6, giving them access to both Flash and ActiveX controls. Widgets can be written with standard web technologies, such as HTML, CSS, AJAX and JavaScript, which means that we should see a healthy supply of Widgets in the future, which is certainly a good thing.
